What is the median number of cups of lemonade sold per day?
Explanation
The median is the number in the middle of a set of numbers; that is, half the numbers have values that are greater than the median, and half have values that are less. Here, the number of cups of lemonade sold per hour are 10, 15, 20, 20, & 27. Thus, there are 2 values after 20 and two values before 20.
